Louis Barr grew up in a small town. He didn’t believe he lived at the end of the earth but knew you could see it from there. He graduated from a northwestern university where he majored in the humanities and political science. He worked for a federal civil rights program for thirty-five years.
Barr and his spouse of many years reside in suburbia where they’re owned by their two cats. He enjoys reading, gardening, and writing modern literary detective thrillers. He likes to hear from his readers but believes innovations such as text messaging and social networking are definite indicators of civilization’s decline.
